Turns out there was some backtracking I
had to do to get the left and right parties where they needed to be.
The center party, the one I was using last time, had to go all the
way back from where I had them at the end of the previous post to a
switch at the very start of the big hallway they were on. That
opened doors for the other two parties to go through and get to the
other goddess statues from the Flying Island halfway through the
game.

The party I had on the left, which had
Mog in it, faced the statue monster called Doom. I mention having
Mog in this party because Doom is weak against the Pearl element,
which is essentially the Holy element from later games. I had Mog
equipped with the Pearl lance as a weapon and the DragonBoots and
Dragon Horn relics, which allowed him to do multiple Jump attacks and
randomly use the Pearl spell. As a result, Doom was a real cakewalk
by comparison.

The party I had on the right faced a
boss simply called Goddess. I can't recall any particular weakness
for this boss, but having Shadow in the party to use throwing stars
on it. Goddess turned out to be the weakest of the three of these,
because she came down the fastest.

Maybe I did these in the wrong order,
I'm not sure, but anyway, I'm done with them now. I could have sworn
one of the last two was supposed to be the hardest of them, but they
were both pretty easy. Getting the middle party back to the save
point they started from wasn't really that big a deal either.

From here, it's off to the final
battle, but since I'm pretty sure that's going to be more than a
little long, I'm going to save that for next time, so until then,
stay safe, have fun, keep gaming, and DFTBA.
